IMPORTANT UPDATE: Fix the issue that later game will become laggy (previously AI buy more than limitation), both SP and MP version updated. Now you can run MP version smoothly on your own PC, :D

Create your own fierce combat with all weapons, all units and various supports on any map!!! Advanced Fierce Combat System (AFCS) generates fast-paced close combat as you wish. It searches out downloaded units and weapons, and inlays various supports like recons and artillery. From infantry CQB to Air Battle, you can define the battle with many options. As leader or soldier, as gunner or sniper, you can enjoy different roles in the battle. Rename the PBO file and you can play it on another map, and the time, place and size of battleground are all up to you, :D.

FEATURES:

This mission renamed from "BlackHole", as some players told me "BlackHole" is confusable, so I renamed it a straight forwards title, :P
Generally, the major feature of my mission is 4F:

1.Furious:
1.1 Combat is limited in small area (adjustable), enjoy the high density combat!
1.2 With new AI script, AI teams will also call support and that make battle more crazy!

2.Flexible:
2.1 Position and size of battleground, number of groups, time and weather, so many options let you make your own battle.
2.2 In SP version, system will search exist weapons and vehicle automaticly, so that you can enjoy your downloaded Weapons and Vehicles in this mission!
2.3 In SP version, you can switch to other soldiers (non-leader soldier, or gunner of AH) as you wish.

3.Fruitful:
3.1 You can enjoy all kinds of weapons and vehicle. Call several support including Artillery, AH and Satellite...
3.2 There are 3 game modes now. Several positions in MP version and more will come.
3.3 In SP version, there are more contents like sub-mission or cheating opinions.

4.Fantastic:
4.1 Some supply such as Detection, Teleport and SmokeWall and so on, are not that realistic.
4.2 You will also get welfare if you lack of money or scores.
All of these are designed for an enjoyful experience!

Introduction Video

The most recent Trailer for MP version

This is introduction video for MP version , shows features, basic rules and various supports.
Please set the resolution larger so that you can see the subtitles clear, :D

The second one shows how to create an air battle with lots of AH or Jets in this mission, which provide a new way to enjoy this mission.

IMPORTANT NOTE and KNOWN ISSUE

(1)In SP version, if nothing happened after hit "Choose This Group" and cannot start. Please do not add mod "Mission Control Center (MCC)" which is conflicted with this mission, test this mission without any mods can help you figure out the problems.

Please notice the ArmaHolic may be slower in update, please watch for version number.

Rename the pbo file and you can play on another map, like AFCS.StratisRecommanded Mod (Optional) for SP version

SP version can auto-searched your downloaded addons, you can find them in Illegal Weapons or in recruiting menu. In addition, I also add some preset which make some mod as standard weapons and units, therefore faction will be used by AI team and weapons and units have reasonable cost.

Please notice the ArmaHolic may be slower in update, please watch for version number.

By the way how is your building? If somebody could tell me how to put high buiding on the map, I will try to let player customize a city, :D

Im finding it realy hard to make buildings high and playable.... a3 lacks buildings all together... I can stack only one building ontop of another (playabale) but once you start adding more buildings it either looks stupid or it isn't fully playable. (you cant go thru all doors because of buildings overlapping) or some othere problem.. but ill keep trying .. I had to take a brake....

Hi, I love your addon, is there a way to use also independent factions as enemies?

Thank you for suggestion. SP version does not have green team, because I think SP version one side vs another is enough (3 sides waste resources for personal experience). And MP version I prepared 3 sides.

I do not mean 3 teams!! I mean if you can do the opportunity to choose to combat vs red team or (exclusive or) vs green team. It would be awesome. :)

By the way while I playing with default settings (of the mod) and the battle between AIs begins I've massive fps drop (from 80 to 20 or less), is it normal?

Hi! Ive got a problem when i port the mod in the fallujah map, when i start it i fall into my doom literally. Have you got any idea why its happen?

So sorry for late reply here. It seems you only need to change the name of the file folder to .Name from .Altis and it should be OK. I dont' know why Fallujah map has problem because I don't use it, maybe the default location is not good? You can check the mission.sqm in folder and try to change the location of the player.

Hi! i like your mission very much. thank you for your work! is there any chance, that you will update MP to bring all features existing in SP at the moment (RHS factions, units and weapons from mods)?

Thank you for this suggestion. I tried to update the MP version, but here I'm not convenient to test it and debug, so I did not release it for quite a long time. Think I will update it several months later, :D.
